| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a boldly rendered high-relief depiction of Saint George, nimbed and clad in Roman armour, mounted on a rearing horse and thrusting a lance downward toward a winged dragon coiled beneath the horse's hooves. The saint carries a shield at his right side and the dragon is portrayed with scaled body and open jaws in a dynamic composition evoking the traditional iconographic rendering of the legend. A continuous Latin legend encircles the central device within a beaded border, reading in full around the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Saint George and the Dragon composition used here follows the long-running series initiated by the Royal Mint on the British sovereign, where Benedetto Pistrucci's design has appeared virtually uninterrupted since 1817. Samoa's adoption of the motif places it in a crowded field of bullion-adjacent issues from Pacific Island nations — Fiji, Niue, and Tuvalu have all licensed similar imagery — a practice driven by the numismatic licensing revenue these sovereignties collect rather than any domestic monetary need. The 2 Tala denomination has no meaningful circulation role.
